Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to Tr. Green's Laboratory, al

our views, and especially ,our prejudicts
iii regard to what are generally known as
~'Stancard Patent Medicines" Of course
we are getting to that age in lie when we
are forced to conclude Life Itself is % hum

has not withstoae long and ttsed expert
ences. Being "a physician | hat the curl
osity to knew how such a sale of two
medical preparations could be sustained
for so many years. The perfect system
npen which the business is conducted,
aud the pharmaceutical arrangements
for the manufacture of the Two recipes
with which we We're made acquainted,
are sufficiently convincing to us that
the AUGUST FLOWER. for Dyspepsia, and
Liver Complaints. and BosCHGE'S GER
MAN, for Throat and Lung Troubles, were
for the complaints they are recommended,
most excellent remedies, and a1.ly regret
that in much of our practice. medical
ethics prevent lis from prescribing them
without making the formulas public.

of voluntary ktters having beexl forward

Earthquake shocks have recently
been ielt in Alabama, Kentucky aud
Tennessee. In Indiana the farm q!
ii. 7. Hsden, between the Cumber.
land and Tennessee rivers, sank four
or five feet below the former level.
There were three hundred acres in
the farm, and at last accounts it was
filling with water and becoming a
lake. a severe shock was felt at
Cairo and lasting thirty seconds. It
stopped many clocks and frightened
the population but did no damage.
In st. Louis the shock was also felt,
but no damage is reported. Intel!i-
Eence from Cuerica, Ecuador, OF
the 18th ult., states that earthquakes
have visited that neighborhood and
were fearfully severe there, causing
great loss Of life and doing much
damage to property. In the streets
and in the squares the people threw
shemselves Oh their knees, begging
divine mercy, the cGrates meanwhile

Ibcr.ia's Standing Disgrace.

In all things which are essential
to the we'll being of a community
and tending to advance its material
prosperity, none are more important
than good roads. Indeed, it has
been said by a great author that the
one Distinguishing feature OF all
civilizations is the care that has
been bestowed upen highways and
public works. Cur neighbors in
Iberia parish make claim to many
pretentions 0? a high order of pro-
lgress and in many respects We cheer
fully grant them the palm. There is,
however, one phase of the subject
which is certainly e reproach to its
police jurors, and q disgrace, deep
and damning, rpon the fair name CT
the parish; and that is the conti-
ton OF many of it's public roads aud
particularly the cause-way over
the Grand Mara;s in the western
part Of the parish midway between
AbbevilIe and New Iberia. For
years this has been an eye sore to
all decent citizens, a plague spot to
all travellers, and a vcritablc bonan-
"a to the mercenary chumps who i'll
fest that section aad wiring tribute
from everyone who falls prey intolhis
bog hole and their toll gates. When
the police jury ordered the conslruc-
ton Of bridges and levees across this
place, we rejoieed in common with
the travelling public that the evil
had ended. The contract was
awarded, we are informed, at an
exotb itant figure, twelve hundred
dollars, the cid bridge pulled up so
that travel by that route was lmpos-
sible, and thea to cap the climax the
contractor barr:cadcs the new road
and absolutely prohibits any enc to
pass. This outrageous sta'e OF af
fairs has prevailed, let it be said, to
the everlasting shame Of iberia par
ish for two months. Mr.. j. Henry
Putnam, OF this parish, last week

What NanUfa ctOries DO For n
City.

Suppose" said a friend, "tha1
the $4,000 unemployed people Of
his city were given work in small
factories at 50 each per week what
an immense difference it would make
in business here. Two hundred and
twenty-five thousand. dollars distribu'
ted weekly among our butchers,
bakers, and tradesmen generally
would make things lively in this
town. And that is about the size
OF it. Manufactures pay wages to
home people, who spend their money
at home. They draw in money
from aboard and spread it out
among the people Of the town in
which they are situated. Where
manufactures flourish, the WORK.
ing men flourish. and the whole
community is enriched. Thousand
Of people who conld not otherwise
earn a cent, now mere consumers,
would be given employment, earn
enough 10 support themselves, and
become purchasers. They lift the
poor from mcndicancy to honest
independence by giving them employ
ment. Therefore we counsel tne
establishment of small industries to
equaliZe the burdens Of life by en-
ploying the idle capital and the
idle people Of New Orleans to the
mutual profit of both.-New Orleans
Chronicle.
The best cotton in the world is
raised in the Southern States. The
value of its long staple is we'll
known and it is in much demand,
more particularly in France, where
it is used liz making up silks, owing
to the delicacy Of its fbre, and it's
cleanIess. Louisiana is also we'll
adapted for the raising of sheep,
and the wool produced from the
improved breeds will compare favor
ably with any other section Of the
world, and silk equal to other coun.
tries, can be reeled from the cocoons
then what is to hinder US from
becoming the great manufacturing
country Of the world! We arc re-
joiced to see hal many cotton manu-
factories are in successful operation
in the South ard that others ere in
contemplation. We hope to se4.in a

What Irrue Merit Will Do

The unprecedented sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astOnished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of coughs. colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, Ms it
does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
caves them in a purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
Use when the diseases make their APP
pearance, will save DOCTORS bills and a
long spell Of serious illness. A trial
will convince you Of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers In the land. Price, 70
cents, large bottles.
